Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

A commitment to diversity and inclusion goes beyond just hiring strategies; it manifests in daily behavior within the lab group. Curating a diverse environment means little if it is not also safe, equitable, and inclusive.

black sign with the line: we believe black lives matter, women's rights are human rights, no human is illegal, science is real, water is life, love is love, kindness is everything. each line of the sign is in a different font and different color

We respect all people and celebrate our differences
We recognize that diversity contributes to our success
We use inclusive language in the workplace
We believe Black lives matter
We believe Trans lives matter
We stand with the Asian American Pacific Islander community against AAPI hate
We are grateful to live and work on the ancestral homelands of the Wenatchi Tribe (P’squosa)
